Will A Tribe Called Quest Do A World Tour For Their New Hit Album?

A Tribe Called Quest just delivered their final album as a group last week, but it won’t the be the last time fans hear from them. In fact, it’s quite the opposite — the group plans to go on the road soon.

In a new interview with Billboard, Q-Tip confirms ATCQ’s next move. “This is our last record, and we’ll probably do a world tour,” he said. “After that, that’s it, for the rest of our lives.”

Q-Tip didn’t share any specifics regarding how it would all go down but touring in support of the album makes sense. On Monday, it was announced they’d signed a new deal with talent agency Creative Arts Agency, a sign that taking their act across the country was likely.

News of the tour comes as Tribe looks to land their first number one album with We Got It from Here. The first week projects point to the release scoring 120,000 equivalent album units, enough to place it at the top of the Billboard 200.

I am working on a deal with them right now (bucket list/dream come true to even be negotiating it). Weirdest thing is how many people they have on their team. They all have independent representation across the board (including Phife). I am trying but… it usually never ends well when so many people are involved. I can see why they had issues within the group but all love.

There was a recent article that mentioned how many people they have represented each of them plus the group itself. I am sure that did not help matters in the intervening years and it is no surprise that when they (really Tip and Phife) just reduced it to the two of them, they were able to smooth things out in the months before Phife’s untimely passing.

I dunno, I for some reason I feel like they should wait til after the Grammys. Then they can go on an award tour. With Muhammad my man. It would be nice to see them going each and every place with a mic in their hand(s.)
